It’s that time of year again when young dance talent from around the globe converge on New York City to compete in the largest international student dance competition in the world, the Youth America Grand Prix.
With hundreds of thousands of scholarship dollars on the line, these more than 1,000 dancers and their coaches have been working all year, often multiple years, to showcase their best work. Chosen from among many thousands who auditioned in the United States, Belgium, France, Italy, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Japan, and China, these remaining dancers hope to earn their place in one of the many top schools and companies that will be scouting throughout the event.
Featuring Gala events at Lincoln Center and 30 countries represented in the 2017 Finals, the schedule for this week’s culmination includes:
- April 12 – YAGP Final Round
- April 13 – ‘Stars of Today Meet the Stars of Tomorrow’ Gala
- April 14 – ‘Julie Bocca: Tribute to a Dance Legend’ Birthday Celebration with International Stars
To call the series star-studded is a vast understatement, as dozens upon dozens of legendary ballerinas and danseurs will be in attendance with many performing in the Galas. And you can be sure to truly see the stars of tomorrow, considering that over 300 YAGP alumni are now dancing with companies around the world like ABT, NYCB, Ailey, Paris Opera, Royal, Stuttgart, Dutch National, and the list goes on. It’s not hard to see why:
A few tickets to these events remain available to the YAGP festivities and can be purchased at https://davidhkochtheater.com. Can’t make it to NY? Subscribe and watch events unfold on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/user/vamproductions.

Hello, This is the third time I am answering this question you have sent by email twice already. Have you received my responses? While I am not currently offering advertising space (to supports neutrality for my own ethical purposes with the site), I am happy to do an email-based interview as a featured blog post. I have focused on US programs in the past so it will be a nice broadening. We can include a few photos in the blog article that will link to your website, as well as a few links within the interview text. Let me know if that would be interesting for you, as I have many international readers.
